After Sidwell Friends canceled school yesterday, President Barack Obama had some harsh words for D.C.

"Can I make a comment that is unrelated to the economy very quickly?" Obama asked at a morning economic briefing. "It has to do with Washington. My children's school was canceled today. Because of what—some ice? As my children pointed out, in Chicago, school is never canceled."

Obama went on to suggest that D.C. would do well to emulate "flinty Chicago toughness."

"I'm saying when it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don't seem to be able to handle things," he concluded.

That's right: Our new president considers capital-dwellers a bunch of pansy-asses who can't deal with a little dusting of snow.

Sad part is, he's probably right.

Tomorrow night, Maret's boys basketball team plays at Sidwell Friends.

It will be Maret's first visit since the rivalry between the two schools really got funny, or ugly, depending on how seriously you take sophomoric taunts.

Maret was leading during a game at Sidwell last month when the home team's fans nailed the visitors with a group chant of "O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!"

Both schools had been finalists in the effort to land tuition fees for First Daughters Elect Malia and Sasha. In case anybody from Maret had forgotten, the chant reminded 'em that Sidwell won the competition for the Obama girls.

And, compounding the hurt, the home crowd's participation inspired the Sidwell boys to come back and beat Maret --- whose fans had retorted with a cheer of "Oatmeal Sucks!" to play on Sidwell's Quaker roots --- by a point.

City Desk's write-up of the cheer-war went viral, and students from both schools used our comments section to call each other some variant of "doo-doo head."

Portis/Zorn isn't the only rivalry to heat up around here lately: For Sidwell Friends/Maret, it's on.

On Saturday, Maret's basketball boys were leading Sidwell Friends on the road when the home crowd taunted the visitors with a chant ripped from the headlines:

"The Sidwell kids started yelling 'O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!' at us," a Maret parent who attended the game tells me.
